Charlotte is a sweet but shy piglet in need of a home that can provide proper care. She was taken in after her original owner wasn't able to continue caring for her and they are looking for her forever home. She is curious and very food motivated. Maybe a little hesitant at first, but will quickly warm up and trust you especially if you give her a good scratch and tummy rub. Charlotte has been good with kids of all ages.
She can be skittish of dogs and cats, especially if they move too quickly around her. (Dogs and pigs should always be supervised and never left alone when together.) She's a timid girl who needs some extra time to warm up. She has mites and is already being treated. Charlotte is crate trained and harness trained, but needs to work on her house breaking/potty training.
Transportation is not available, so the adopter will need to make arrangements.
Charlotte is not altered so arrangements must be made to spay prior to adoption. Intact pigs do not make the best companion animals. Spaying prevents unwanted litters, curbs behavior problems, and prevents uterine tumors. Altering piggies when they're young is safer and usually less expensive than waiting until it becomes a problem or a medical emergency.
If you are interested in adopting, please complete the application and mention the name, city, and state of the pig(s) you're interested in: https://www.pigplacementnetwork.org/online-adoption-application/
Qualified homes must 1) be in a zone friendly community, 2) locate a vet that will care for pet pigs, 3) own their home.
